  • That’s an idiotic hot take that gives the Democrats in power a lot of undeserved confidence in their seats and is exactly why Kamala failed to excite voters.

    In a very small handful of very vulnerable seats, sure, that might be true. For literally every other race in the country, that’s not only bullshit it’s problematic.

    “I don’t have to try, x number of people will vote for me no matter what.” That’s not conjecture, it’s literally part of the calculation campaign managers do for every single election. X voters will always vote for D/R candidate, and Y voters never will. If X is greater than half of the number of votes in the last election, campaign to your donors.

    Democrats will not change their tune until they start seeing some risk. Safe and leans D seats need to start shifting away from them. They need to lose votes they once thought were guaranteed and a sizable portion of those votes need to be for non viable progressives.


  • Look if the Democrats were interested in shifting to the left they would have done it by now. They know progressive policies are popular. They know progressive policies get people excited. They’re not interested in being progressive. They’re only interested in maintaining the status quo and if stepping on you is necessary to do that, they’ll happily do it. Some of them will make a somber face on the news about it before gleefully stepping on you again.



  • Trump won with a sliver of majority support in a handful of states because of electoral college fuckery. Every state he lost could have voted against him 10 times harder and he still would have won.

    The swing votes he won in those few states were people fundamentally worried about the same things we are. Childcare, healthcare, cost of living, and keeping their jobs. They had two choices, a man who had a plan, and a woman who said “look how not that guy I am!”

    Trump won because he’s mastered the grift and the Democrats dropped the fucking ball, again.


  • First of all, you’re not only wrong you’re also kind of a dick.

    Second of all, people like you love to mouth off about voting blue no matter who, insist we support whatever Democrat shows up, even if it’s literally a Republican who changed parties to run for a vulnerable seat. Then turn around and tell us that any alternative to just voting isn’t a serious plan and we should all step in line. Which is exactly how we ended up in this fucking mess.

    So finally, fuck you buddy.




  • I have a universe with the dark fog swarms turned on, and I’m at the point where to get to the most critical rare materials I need to eliminate them from around the stars they’re orbiting. I’m bottlenecked in producing the fleet to help me take them out because I don’t have any of the stuff on that planet. I got them 99% eliminated before I had to retreat but by the time I got back they were mostly rebuilt but I was still a ways off from fully resupplied.

    So I gave up and went back to a peaceful universe. I found a planet tidally locked to its star and got to the point where I was literally just waiting while swarms and swarms of Dyson structure components launched. Like I literally left it running and watched a movie more than once.

    So I stopped playing and am really in to planet crafter now but I’m getting towards the end of that. …I think. Honestly I thought I was towards the end more than once already.
